I noticed tonight, when I jumped into the car that it was only 4 degrees. I started the engine and drove off fully expecting the FBH to fire up on it's own as the conditions were right.

My FBH didn't, me thinking hmmm what's up with it. I sent it a text, and it fired up no problem.

It would seem that putting a pin into the plug to allow manual operation seems to disconnect the auto operation even though there is no earth (or in my case no 12v as it's an early FBH) being sent down the wire

Is this normal? Not really a problem, as I can still turn it on when I need it.

This vehicle was the 104,679th 75 to run off the production line, out of 112,381
This vehicle was the 3,318th 75 CDT Connoisseur SE (135) to be made out of 4,744
This vehicle was the 12,440th 75 in Starlight Silver (code: MBB) to be made out of 14,280 Starlight Silver 75s

Reason: Incorrect earth / 12v due to memory loss lol
